Curtis Hanson, director of L.A. Confidential and 8 Mile, dies at 71

While not a prolific director
Wonder Boys
L.A. Confidential
The River Wild
The Hand That Rocks the Cradle
8 Mile

He was pretty reliable to put out a good movie. What can you say about a Director that made both Eminem and Kim Basinger look like legit actors

Wow, had no idea he was that old. RIP. 8 Mile and Wonder Boys are both great, and L.A. Confidential's a masterpiece.

LA Confidential is what he will be most remembered for, but my favourite was Wonder Boys. It's a shame Michael Douglas didn't get a nomination for that one.
